Is he a defensive coach? I admittedly know nothing much about him but had a look on wiki when I seen the announcement. Says - Lead Offensive Specialist Coach for various levels of the English national team.he was at Anderlecht for 8 weeks with Vincent Kompany - and he is a specialist defensive coach - interestingly he has done work with basketball coach, Stephen Curry in the USA.
i take it he fills the vacant 1st team coach slot, the 'ast managers job' is still vacant & waiting for Ooh René! when he returns with Roo McGree from the World Cup.

Could be wrong, but I suspect the basketball link up was probably more an exchange of knowledge/development type thing. Was apparently an FA initiative, I don't think it was Danks being brought in as a specialist.I think he's more of a positional/tactics coach without being a coach specifically for one position (if that makes sense?) - he's coached one of the best basketball players in the world, so it must be a type of coaching that's not totally specific to football.
Lots of 3 points on the way thenCan't believe a football coach would be coaching Steph Curry, seems hard to believe. I'd love to know what the link up was all about.
